Can players choose NPC classes? Commoner?
Can players choose Survivor from Savage Species?
Can a player then play a Commoner who becomes a Survivor?

I'm just going to suggest that you go here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebxe/20061204a).

I see that Savage Species is not on the list. This was one concern. I do not think that the Survivor PrC is updated in any other book.
I do not see where anyone can play an NPC class or not (I assume that this means no). But thanks. Does anyone have a suggestion that might replace a Commoner/Survivor/Horizon Walker Character???

I'd suggest taking the Endurance feat either at first or third level and picking a base class that has Know(geography) on its skills list.

Off the top of my head, I even go as far as suggesting Ranger as the class since you wouldn't even have to lose a feat to pick up Endurance.

Well, a ranger would mean that character was always tougher. He didn't start with nothing. Vow of Poverty would have helped, but it is not available to XE players. Oh well. I will have to use the concept in a nonRPGA game, but thanks for the input.

You can't take NPC base classes, I will make sure that is spelled out more clearly in v2.0. Also, Savage Species is not on the list of apporved secondary sources, so you can't use anything from it.
